Hello to all members, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

My new set of buttons arrived today. They aren't quite as pretty as the little ones, but they will work perfectly well, so I'm happy.

I'm rather miffed at the non-arrival of a Christmas knitting kit I'd ordered. It was due out by the beginning of November, so I'd waited a bit to allow time for it to arrive but finally gave up today and phoned. There might be some coming out next week (there were none available today) so I could hang on and see, or I could have my money back. I opted for my money back - even if they do come out by the end of next week it won't leave much time to make the kit.

Well. at least you now have buttons that will work, even if the others were prettier.

How annoying! It's no fun to get something too late for you to do anything with it, so a refund was your best option, but very disappointing =(

The new buttons will look fine and I'm sure I'll find a use for the others.

Shame that the buttons aren’t as good as the earlier ones, and also about the non-arrival of the kit. That is disappointing for you.

[smallhobbit]

The first buttons were perfect. These are good, just not quite as ideal. Disappointing but I couldn't now guarantee to complete it on time.

That's super annoying about the Xmas kit. If they didn't have them in stock, the shop should have let you know. Good you got your money back, but sad you now have no kit.

[smallhobbit]

Exactly. I pre-ordered the kit, at the end of September, so allowed a couple of weeks after the date of publication for it to arrive (postal services being what they are) but would have expected notification of the delay. Now the website's saying 'Please note your copy will be dispatched when available from 19th November 2021' which is unhelpful and allows little time to complete the kit.

I think it was a good choice. Even if they did come out, you'd have to do things hastily, and that takes the joy out of crafting.
